Description: C4D stands for Cinema 4D, and is a program made by Maxon used for creating 3D images. When somebody using Gimp talks about it however, they're usually referring to any abstract 3D render. They're very useful when it comes to giving depth to signs and other such things. I don't like it when 3D renders are called C4Ds, though, because there are literally hundreds of programs you can use to make these things: Blender, Wings, 3DS Max, Maya, Carrara, and TrueSpace, just to name a few. C4D is just one of many. Now, when C4D is used for a more realistic, quality graphic it's used by experienced users. The C4D is widely used because of the extraordinary effect of them. It is mainly used for creating background images for a signature, or adding cool effects and depth; when used incorrectly though, C4D's could turn into rubbish. Here are a few examples of C4D signatures.

How C4D was used in image: All the background of this image is C4D. This is what I mean by adding depth and making the background.

How C4D was used in image: Now this is C4D use at it's finest. Notice how it the C4D not only brings out some great features and textures, it also gives flow to the signature. This is what every GOOD artist is looking for when using C4D's.

Render

Description: Renders are the main characteristic in any graphic.Also, renders are one of the major sub-topics of 3D computer graphics, and in practice always connected to the others. In the graphics pipeline, it is the last major step, giving the final appearance to the models and animation. With the increasing sophistication of computer graphics since the 1970s onward, it has become a more distinct subject. They usually are the main image in any graphic. Here are a few examples of renders.

How render was used in image: See the fwoggie? That's another example of a render. It is the main focal of this signature. Focal is another great aspect of a signature. The focal always needs to stand out; no matter what.

How render was used in image: Wall-E is the render in this image. See how every part of this signature BRINGS out Wall-E? How every aspect just makes the render (Wall-E) just pop out? That is what every good artist is looking for in any signature. Depth.

Description: Photoshop brushes are fantastic tools for enhancing any artwork you care to imagine. They can be simple strokes, which you can use to add effect or definition to an existing picture, or entire images waiting to be dropped into your canvas! The brush tool is one of the most versatile tools in the Photoshop collection. If you haven't yet learned how to best use it, then these brushes could change your artwork profusely. Here are some examples of brushes being used in signatures.

That is one of the main features of this image. Graphic arts is just like photography; not just one thing is strong, everything is.

How brush is used in image: This is another original way to use brushes. Notice how everything around Mr. Blastoise? Those are vector brushes. Those are a unique form of brush that has that more futuristic look to it. You can check out my tutorial here.

How brush is used in image: This WHOLE ENTIRE signature's background is made of brushes. You can use brushes even to make background. The power of the brush is incredible. Every good graphic artist uses the brush time and time again to make an outstanding graphic. You'll need to use them too!
